Best-selling Canadian author Kim Kinrade makes his US publishing debut with this exciting tale of intrigue and deception. Hitler and the SS formulate a plan to devastate the United States with a rocket attack during World War II. To carry out the plan, the Nazis set up a rocket base on a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Based on recently declassified US Coast Guard documents, Rockets of the Reich reveals one of the worst fears of President Roosevelt and the American military leaders of the time: could the V-2s that terrorized London make their way to American cities?
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Rockets of the Reich is Kim Kinrade's fourth novel and easily his best. He weaves immaculate research with a wicked sense of pacing to create an alternative history page turner. This action-packed WWII novel asks the question: what if the nazis attempted a strike on continental USA from the east coast of Canada? Fans of Tom Clancy or Len Deighton will love this well-plotted sizzler -- Mark Sampson, Atlantic Progress, Halifax, Nova Scotia

A masterful "What if " story,
By Tom Silk (Manalapan, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rockets of the Reich (New Millennium Writers Series) (Hardcover)
Kinrade does a masterful job of taking a plausible premise and weaving it into a thrilling and surprising story. The characters are complex and well developed. I've always been a big fan of "historical Novels" and "alternative history" stories, so this novel fit my tastes perfectly. I highly recommend this novel to those who have similar tastes. It was a fun ride.
